What you have is a Belgian made BLR (the original) . They are a rock solid firearm , if you can live with the trigger . Don't let anyone mess with the trigger , because if they screw it up , parts are hard to come by . I've been looking for a hammer for one for three months now , and still looking . A previous gunsmith did a trigger job on it and took too much metal off it at the sear notch so that now it won't stay cocked !
